They assist English language learners, adult basic education learners and learners who are preparing for exams (e.g. GED Test and U.S. Naturalization Test) with learning activities. Volunteers must be well-rounded academically and have strong English and mathematics skills. They also must be able to assist learners in small groups and individually on a drop-in basis.

Tutors are scheduled once a week for at least six months. Desired qualifications and skills include: college graduate; a friendly demeanor and communication skills; fluency in written and spoken English; proficiency in basic mathematics; patience and a willingness to use a variety of methods to promote understanding with students; respect of diverse cultures and values.
